Here Comes The Bride


Wearing cowboy boots? Yep! She is beautiful too. The boots were a gift from her groom and she wanted to wear them for the wedding.







Tara, Lily, Grandma and I had the pleasure of attending our cousin Brenda's wedding in Sedona. It was beautiful Tara and Lily had never attended a wedding and it was fun to see the wedding from their eyes. Weddings are full of traditions; however, I never stopped to think about those traditions until I had to answer so many questions. Here are a few...

When are they going to kiss?
Why does the flower girl throw flowers?
How come we have to wait to eat?
How come no one else is dancing? (Bride and Groom first dance)
What is champagne?
When are we having cake?
What is a garter toss?

And my favorite question (after the garter toss)...

Does he have to get married now?









We enjoyed our visit to Sedona; spending time with Grandma, visiting our family, dancing and celebrating the marriage of Tristan and Brenda. The tables were decorated with beautiful candles, bubbles and tiny pink crystals. The girls were happy to learn they could keep the bubbles and the tiny pink crystals (from all the tables). So, instead of crystals in the air, it is crystals in my carpet.

  2. I love this post! Crystals in your carpet, how funny! I'm so glad you girls got to be there and I know how happy it made Brenda. What a special day that was, for so many reasons. We are so blessed to get to share things like this with our children and see it through their eyes, like you said!
